The hookers are definitely smarter than our former governor. His replacement, Gov. Paterson was more frugal in his extramarital trysts, preferring to boff taxpayer subsidized staffers and paying the $100.00 hotel bills at the Days Inn with campaign funds listed under the expense account called "constituent services". I guess that makes him more of a fiscal conservative amongst the Democrats here. That is certainly true here in New York State. The hookers are definitely smarter than our former governor.

Glad you enjoyed the show. The sheeple definition reminds me of Dorothy Parker's quip on - "horticulture" - you can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think. On the other hand, if the hooker is getting a couple thousand per trick, she might be smarter than the average politician. Ray - thanks! Glad you enjoyed the show.

BTW...great interview. Just remember Jim, you can lead sheeple to a book, but you can’t make them think.

Ya, as a libertarian, I would cringe at the idea of FORCING people to read my books. On the other hand, if they could merely be forced to buy them.....

"Tomes of Despair"???? You mean all my striving for comic relief was for naught? I reckon there will be future historians, and hopefully not all of them will be pimping for Leviathan.

I'm not the type to force people, but I do have mine and yours as well as other freedom loving people's best interests at heart.

It's good to hear you've got a new book in the works. These tomes of despair that you do so well are the closest thing to a reality check being published these days in hardback. The Bovard books will be a goldmine for future historians who are trying to figure out where their idiot ancestors went wrong. Of course, I'm assuming there will be future historians.
